Artist : ZZ Top Country : USA Release : Fandango! [Remastered & Expanded] Year : 1975 Genre : Hard Rock File Type : mp3 320 Info:
One of the world's greatest rock 'n' roll bands ever to strut the 50
States, these sharp-dressed Texas titans-Billy F. Gibbons, Frank Beard,
and Dusty Hill-are a righteously hell rain' power trio boasting a
30-plus year hit-making legacy, both in the studio and at concert
arenas. With their revved up blues 'n' boogie, they always make the most
of their Texas birthright with with a distinctive sound that shakes up
rock, blues, soul, garage-funk, Americana, and more. Nowhere is their
force of nature musicianship better displayed than on these two album
classics, revved up wtih red-hot bonus rarities. "You know what I'm
talkin' about...an how how how how."

Artist : ZZ Top Country : USA Release : Velcro Fly Year : 1986 Genre : Hard Rock File Type : mp3 320 Info:
The only rock & roll group that's out there with its original
members still aboard after three decades (an anniversary celebrated on
1999's XXX), ZZ Top play music that is always instantly recognizable,
eminently powerful, profoundly soulful, and 100-percent American in
derivation. They have continued to support the blues through various
means, perhaps most visibly when they were given a piece of wood from
Muddy Waters' shack in Clarksdale, MS.

Artist : ZZ Top Country : USA Release : Rough Boy Year : 1986 Genre : Hard Rock File Type : mp3 320 Info:
This sturdy American blues-rock trio from Texas consists of Billy
Gibbons (guitar), Dusty Hill (bass), and Frank Beard (drums). They were
formed in 1970 in and around Houston from rival bands the Moving
Sidewalks (Gibbons) and American Blues (Hill and Beard). Their first two
albums reflected the strong blues roots and Texas humor of the band.
Their third album (Tres Hombres) gained them national attention with the
hit "La Grange," a signature riff tune to this day, based on John Lee
Hooker's "Boogie Chillen." Their success continued unabated throughout
the '70s, culminating with the year-and-a-half-long Worldwide Texas
Tour.

Artist : ZZ Top Country : USA Release : Afterburner [Remastered] Year : 1985 Genre : Hard Rock File Type : mp3 320 Info:
'Sleeping Bag' sets the tone for the rest of the album. The first
thing that you'll notice is that the drums are completely mechanical,
and that the bass never quite seems to kick in. Is it hidden behind
something, or is it just not there? You won't be figuring this out for
the whole of the disc, but it doesn't really matter, because its sonic
area is obliterated by Dusty Hill's keyboards whether it's there or not.
The synths are all over this disc. As 'Sleeping Bag' continues,
Gibbons' guitar comes in, and starts to drown out the keyboards a little
too. If I had any major complaint about this album, it's that it is
simply too much most of the time - it's loud, and everything seems sort
of piled on top of everything else. Whether everything works is a
different story, but there's almost no interplay with the band here. The
keyboards have been laid on top of Frank Beard's programmed drums, and
Gibbons seems to have come in and soloed over it all.

Artist : ZZ Top Country : USA Release : Deguello [Remastered] Year : 1979 Genre : Hard Rock File Type : mp3 320 Info:
ZZ Top returned after an extended layoff in late 1979 with Deguello,
their best album since 1973's Tres Hombres. During their time off, ZZ
Top didn't change much -- hell, their sound never really changed during
their entire career -- but it did harden, in a way. The grooves became
harder, sleeker, and their off-kilter sensibility and humor began to
dominate, as "Cheap Sunglasses" and "Fool for Your Stockings"
illustrate. Ironically, this, their wildest album lyrically, doesn't
have the unhinged rawness of their early blooze rockers, but the
streamlined production makes it feel sleazier all the same, since its
slickness lets the perversity slide forth. And, forget not, the trio is
in fine shape here, knocking out a great set of rockers and sounding
stylish all the time. Undoubtedly one of their strong suits.

As Time Goes By (Hidden Track)
Sanctify (Bonus Track)
Artist : ZZ Top
Country : USA
Release : Mescalero
Year : 2003
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320
Info:
The last few albums ZZ Top released were all going back to the old
sound but with a dirtier, fuzzed make over. There were always some good
tracks and some ordinary ZZ Top numbers which if more focused, could've
been better. However, since the band's been using the same formula and
same producer from album one, they never pushed further or focused to
make an entire album worthy of comparing to their peak efforts. On
'Mescalero the dirty sound and the rough blues vocals are there, and
they still got the groove and the heart to do an instantly memorable
record.

The only rock & roll group that's out there with its original
members still aboard after three decades (an anniversary celebrated on
1999's XXX), ZZ Top play music that is always instantly recognizable,
eminently powerful, profoundly soulful, and 100-percent American in
derivation. They have continued to support the blues through various
means, perhaps most visibly when they were given a piece of wood from
Muddy Waters' shack in Clarksdale, MS. The group members had it made
into a guitar, dubbed the "Muddywood," then sent it out on tour to raise
money for the Delta Blues Museum. ZZ Top's support and link to the
blues remains as rock solid as the music they play.
